* BewareTheSillyOnes: Usually drunk, was gullible about Dr Wily, but is still a genius inventor. He's the one who stops Gamma's rampage, and defeats Alternate Mynd's OneWingedAngel form.

Dewicking as Static Character is now Definition Only.


A superhero from the hand-drawn comic world. He has Lightning powers and crippling self-esteem issues. Trapped in the Mega Man universe as part of a ploy to trap Bob there instead. Makes friends with the cast and lives at Dr Light's lab. The entire arc of the comic gives him CharacterDevelopment, in contrast to the [[StaticCharacter most other characters]].

* ExactWords: His primary purpose is to fight Robot Masters. His secondary purpose is to be an idiot, and in that order. When he's fighting Masters, he's cunning and ruthless. When not, he's a total moron.



* VillainousLineage: Has a rather nasty case of this along with Bob- their grandfather is the Devil, and their mother is a Succubus. However, George has never struggled with morality to the degree this trope implies- the worst he'll do is be tempted towards mildly jerkish behavior, like not wanting to rescue Mike from Non-Alternate Mynd, which is ultimately less "Struggling against my dark family nature," and more him being lazy and a bit of an ass at times.



** Played straight when he went to the Rockman Universe- he genuinely enjoyed it there, had friends, and even had a career as an anti-hero. Unfortunately, that all went crashing down when the Alternate Megaman and Bass meddled with his blaster, creating the Cataclysm for that universe.
* VillainousLineage: Like George, he has one, with his grandfather being the Devil and his mother being a succubus. Unlike George, he fully embraces his dark side.



* AdaptationalDumbass: Even more than Mega Man, who at least [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass is clever when dealing with Robot Masters]].

to:

* AdaptationalDumbass: Even more than Mega Man, who at least [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass is clever when dealing with Robot Masters]]. Turns out that it's not his fault, exactly- he was competent during Megaman 7 and in 6 he shows no sign of his future stupidity. However, during the comic's finale, George's attempts to save the Past Author fried his brain when he passed Bass by.



* GoneHorriblyRight: Wily created him to be better than Mega Man in every way. Unfortunately that included [[TheDitz a lack of intelligence]].

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He's the one that stole the plans for X from Doctor Light, which were turned into the plans for Zero, who caused the Cataclysm.



* AllForNothing: The reason he was created was to have someone clean Doctor Light's lab... except that it turns out that Rush and Tango were already doing that. Lampshaded by Doctor Light.



* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Doctor Light intentionally screwed him up massively because he didn't like any of the robots living in his lab and didn't want his most powerful creation want to run off and be a vigilante. All it did was turn him into the sixth villain.

to:

* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Doctor Light intentionally screwed him up massively because he didn't like any of the robots living in his lab and didn't want his most powerful creation want to run off and be a vigilante. All it did was turn him into the sixth annual villain.



* StoryBreakerPower: In the Megaman 2 storyline, he has this- his power and ability is so great, as Doctor Light's greatest creation with ultra-advanced technology and weapons possibly on par with Bob's own. To prevent this from being the case, X volunteers to stay behind and help repair Doctor Light's lab while Megaman takes down the Robot Masters, preserving history.



* LaserGuidedAmnesia: When we first meet him, has no idea who built him or that he was responsible for the Cataclysm.



* NeverMyFault: Refuses to take any of the blame for when X goes on his assimilation spree.



* DistaffCounterpart: Is more less this to Proto Man when she fights, and is definitely this in personality.

Added DiffLines:

* HeelFaceTurn: To a degree. After the third game, Doctor Cossack manages to convince him to not try and take over the world anymore, and... he doesn't. The events of Mega Man 4-6 were due to events outside his control and he basically got roped into the plot. He's still ''evil'', but he's not attempting world domination anymore.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He's the one who creates Zero, who ultimately kills him in the setting where the Cataclysm takes place.


Added DiffLines:

** He wasn't even responsible for Doctor Cossack's world domination attempt in 4, things just spiraled out of control with him barely being involved.


Added DiffLines:

** The Maverick Virus, the primary antagonist of the Megaman X series of games, is a digital copy of his soul. He's effectively immortal.


Added DiffLines:

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He's responsible for the creation of Zero, who, in this comic's continuity, goes on to create the dark future of the Megaman X games and kill all the characters [[spoiler: with the exception of the twist ending.]]


Added DiffLines:

* HeelFaceTurn: In the final battle, he switches sides so he can have a proper duel with Non-Alternate Mynd.


Added DiffLines:

* WrongGenreSavvy: He attacked Nate in exactly the same way that he disabled Chadling, expecting Nate to explode or go berserk, since that was his experience with demons. Unfortunately for him, all that Nate's glasses do for him at that point is correct his vision, which means that Nate just breaks down in tears.

* RealityWarper



* RealityWarper: Comes with the territory of being an omniscient creator of the world.

Blitz. Earlier it was "Spark" but he doesn't like that name as much.
* ContractualImmortality: Being a [[InvokedTrope title character, character]], he uses this trope to avoid dying. And while DeathIsCheap in the strip, other characters get revived while he technically never dies



* OutsideContextProblem: Aside from the fact that he's a human with superpowers, he's a ''mystical'' human with superpowers. [[spoiler: It's clarified that he's the grandson of the Devil and his mother is a succubus.]] His nature as a mystically powered being of pure lightning has been a key factor in beating multiple threats, such as Bob and X.



* CoolShades

to:

* CoolShadesCoolShades: As a recolor of Proto Man, he has these.



* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: It takes an insult about his mother to distract him during one battle.

to:

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: It takes an insult about his mother to distract him during one battle. The commentary even notes that this is slightly odd given that she's a Succubus, a sex demon.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: [[TookALevelInDumbass He wasn't always an idiot]], which is carried over to [[EarlyBirdCameo his appearance]] in the Mega Man 6 retelling. It's revealed that his processor got fried by George's passing early in the comic.

Added DiffLines:

** Also averted when he's inside cyberspace, such as when Megaman X assimilates him or he winds up in Megaman's head.
** Averted again in the aftermath of the Megaman X Assimilation, since he got put in Chadling's body (which ''could'' talk).

* {{Cyborg}}: Technically becomes this after he gets blinded and Dr Light builds replacement eyes.



* SpikyHair: What tends to happen when he uses his powers.



* DumbassHasAPoint: Whenever Wily has a crazy scheme, Bass of all people is the one who [[StatingTheSimpleSolution states the simple solution]] and points out how convoluted it is.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: [[TookALevelInDumbass He wasn't always an idiot]], which is carried over to [[EarlyBirdCameo his appearance]] in the Mega Man 6 retelling.



* SmartBall: As stupid as he is, he does have his moments. [[DumbassHasAPoint Mainly criticizing Wily]].



* AssimilationPlot: His goal during his ArcVillain stunt; make everyone his friends with this, whether they want it or not. [[OhCrap Then he gets access to humans through Mike]].



* ImmuneToDrugs: Resistant more like it; he can drink enough to down a bull elephant while keeping some level of consciousness.



* NiceJobBreakingItHero: OK maybe he's not all that heroic [[AdaptationalJerkass here]], but he designed X to not get along with characters like Mega Man to not become incompetent. This backfires when X [[AssimilationPlot figures out a way to make them get along with him]].



* HeelFaceTurn: Started as an enemy early on but becomes an ally after his defeat.



* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Missing the lower half of his body after an attack by Helmut, which might be where his comment of being 50% robot comes from.



* ForTheEvulz: When Bob asks why he wants to destroy/conquer the Mega Man universe, he just says "[[ItAmusedMe every supervillain needs a hobby]]"



* VillainTeamup: [[spoiler:With Bob]]. He loses track of this [[WorthyOpponent fighting his counterpart]].



* HeelFaceTurn: After some time in Dr Light's prison he eventually sides with the gang and fights Alternate Mynd.



* {{Foil}}: To his counterpart. Mike is lazy, [[ButtMonkey disrespected]], and a former minion of Mynd. Edward/Ninja Ned is competent, actually evil and his Mynd's boss.




to:

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Same color scheme as Mike, but an actual villain.


Added DiffLines:

* OmnicidalManiac: Or so he claims at first, saying he's an evil Author who's out to destroy universes and it's now the strip's turn. [[spoiler:He's also complicit in Bob trying to destroy the universe, though that's for a bet instead of omnicide]].

* CainAndAbel: With George.The younger Cain to George's Abel.
* CardCarryingVillain: Bob's a supervillain and damn proud of it. He ends up causing the events of ''Mega Man 6'' and ends up as the last ArcVillain when George calls him "not that bad a guy".



* ContractualImmortality: Same deal as George, and he uses this against Mega Man in their first encounter.



* HeelFaceDoorSlam: He initially decided to chill and be an AntiHero in the Rockman Universe, partly because he actually likes it there, until Alternate Mega Man and Bass [[NiceJobBreakingItHero intervene and cause an alternate Cataclysm]]. He ends up becoming the BigBad of the Fifth Megaman Game, and when he initially is content to chill again in a Demiplane until he gets pulled back and becomes the villain again. His RageAgainstTheAuthor is primarily fueled by the Author not leaving him alone.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Starts as a straight supervillain, but shifts from AntiHero to VillainProtagonist across the series. He would've stayed as such [[spoiler:which would've eventually gotten him killed, but ultimately avoided this with a last-minute twist.]]



* OtherMeAnnoysMe: He's a little freaked out by his [[CampGay flamboyant]] MirrorUniverse self.



* ParodySue: Admits [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/index.php?date=060224 to being the Mary Sue of the comic]], being cooler, smarter and more powerful than almost any other character.

* RageAgainstTheAuthor

to:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Initially he liked bananas, but shifts to being an ice cream lover like most of the characters.



* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Even when he served Mynd he wasn't much of a villain and immediately goofed around when he entered the Megaman Universe. Mynd has to use mind-control to get him to follow orders.

* TheAlcoholic

to:

* TheAlcoholic AdaptationalJerkass: A lot surlier and easier to annoy than his NiceGuy canon self. Though given the zanier events and his alcoholism, it makes some sense.
* TheAlcoholic: To the point that in the Epilogue he would've died of it had Dr Cossack not invented an artificial liver.
* BackFromTheDead: While [[DeathIsCheap most characters have this]], he ends up being the first character revived after Proto Man accidentally shoots him.



* AdaptationalJerkass: Due to her BloodKnight tendencies and swearing.



* [[SirSwearsalot Miss Swears A Lot]]: Has the biggest potty mouth of the characters, even delivering [[PrecisionFStrike the first F-bomb]].
